Good evening and welcome to Stamford Bridge where Antonio Conte is speaking to the press after watching his Chelsea side draw 1-1 with Huddersfield.

The Terriers secured their Premier League survival, but the Blues' faint hopes of qualifying for the Champions League took a huge blow after the draw.

Antonio Conte made a raft of changes from the side which beat Liverpool on Sunday, with Olivier Giroud and Eden Hazard both benched, but the decision backfired with the home side lacking a cutting edge.

Laurent Depoitre gave David Wagner's team a shock lead early in the second half after Willy Caballero missed a long ball over the top.

The Argentinian keeper challenged for it, but the Huddersfield forward got to the rebound first and scored into the empty net.

Marcos Alonso scored the equaliser after a ball hit him in the face and flew into the goal, and Chelsea threw numbers forward in desperate search of the winner, but to no avail.

Chelsea travel to Newcastle on the final day of the season, and barring a win over the Magpies coupled with a Brighton win against Liverpool, the Blues will have to settle for Europa League football next season.

Key Events

Wagner done

Calm at the last ten minutes

Calm is another word. The players tried everything and you have to accept if you get a reward.

22:30

Fabregas angry at the end

He spoke in Spanish, I don’t know what was said.

22:29

Spoken to Klopp?

No. I haven’t had my mobile phone. The least you can do as a friend.

22:29

Celebration plans?

Cancelled the plane. Going by coach, maybe a drink.

22:28

Thought you might go down?

We always looked consistent. We always picked up points and I thought it would be tight for sure. If it is a final on the last day of the season I would take it. We have great support at home and now we can play with freedom and give Wenger all the focus he deserves.

22:27

What an achievement

This is an overachievement, it is a bigger than the promotion. We were predicted to be relegated by miles, I understand that. We work under circumstances that maybe aren’t even Championship circumstances. It doesn’t matter how big you are, you have to keep trying. Today we were chanceless, more or less. They were unlucky, this is the truth but we have deserved points before. This is what the season has been. It feels like another trophy.

22:25

Staying up

English is not my natural language, but this result is incredible for our club. I am so proud that the players have done it on their own. I am pleased for the players and backroom staff.

For sure Chelsea were the better team and we have lady luck. They are a top team but we showed an unbelievable work rate. Today it was a stolen point, but I really don’t care.

22:23KEY EVENT

David Wagner is here

22:21

Conte is done

22:21

What about the future?

We have to finish this season. We have another game to play and then there is the club for sure will do the best to improve the situation.

22:20

Fifth a fair reflection?

I am realistic, you finish the season in the position you have. We dropped many points this season, if we stay fifth then we deserve it.

22:20

Huddersfield time wasting

We must respect Huddersfield plan. For sure they started this game with one target, to take one point. They wanted to defend deep and I think we must give best compliments to Huddersfield for this result. We had chances to score but didn’t take them. The result for the club is a great congratulation to them.

22:19

Rotation with FA Cup in mind?

Absolutely not. I made changes against Burnley, to make rotation it was Morata, Willian and Christensen, people who play every game, It is shame to think the rotation like this. We have a squad that can win, today we spent a lot of energy against Liverpool. This is football and to speak one day, you have always risk.

22:17

Chances of CL?

The situation wasn’t in our hands and for sure the possibility is less than before. At the same time we have to try and to do our best. Like today, we played an intense game with a will and desire to get three points. We weren’t able to win the game, this is football.

22:16

Typifying the season?

I said this after the West Ham game. It is difficult to explain the draw. When you have the possession and concede one counter attack and draw the game it is difficult to explain. We must accept the result and to stay fifth in the table. It is a pity. Today I saw a fantastic commitment of my players. They tried to get three points but weren’t able to score one more.
